Fantastic shirt for cycle touringI bought this merino t-shirt for a three-week cycle tour around the Balkans. My partner and I were travelling super light so only allocated ourselves two shirts apiece. As such, a stylish t-shirt that looked good on and off the bike was key. I also needed a bit of cycling kit that could go a few days between cleans without smelling (okay - I went for seven days without washing, but it never once had the horrible stench traditional jerseys get). This shirt fit the bill exactly! It fit perfectly (I am a UK12 and ordered a M) and was super comfy. Will be buying another. Highly recommend - especially if touring.

Great versatile shirtI'm not a hardcore road cyclist but I do enjoy commuting here and there on my bike while still looking street-wear presentable (ie, not decked out in athletic gear). I also really enjoy the benefits of merino wool clothing so when I saw this 100% merino wool piece, I jumped on it! I originally envisioned it as a stylish street-wear tech piece and it did not disappoint.
I'm 5'1", 100 lb, with a slim build and a short torso. Most shirts end up being too long, covering my hip and looking sloppy on me. I originally ordered both the XXS and XS but ultimately kept the XS opting for a slightly looser boxier look. The XXS was still a relaxed fit but I preferred the aesthetics of the XS on me. The XS hit right above my hip, covering the waistband on my jeans - perfect, no chance of it riding up. being too short when I'm on my bike nor is it too long looking sloppy when I'm out and about. It's also loose enough where I don't feel constrained while biking or walking around town.
The reflective stripe down the middle of the back is a cute design point that is both useful and garnered compliments from the significant other.
I've since gone back and ordered a few more of these shirts in various colours! It will be a great addition to my wardrobe for any occasion.

Perfect blend of style, fit and comfortI have this shirt in a few different colors and it is my go to! I love how comfy it is and the merino wool keeps it from getting stinky, even when I wear it multiple days in a row while traveling. It doesn't wrinkle and looks great dressed up or casually on a bike around town. It fits loosely, if not a bit big so size accordingly.

Beautiful fitI originally bought a medium size which was too big, but this was exchanged swiftly for the small size, and it fits a size 10 beautifully. The fabric is gorgeous.

Not An Ordinary ShirtIt has:
- a tailored cut

- smoother cotton vs. ordinary t-shirts
